    Haha, that's exactly what I want to do! Damn, I'd forgotten about it and was relying on the HL site for information. I'm going over everything with the Blu-Tac now. Thank you for the quick, and useful, response.

    I've got a stainless Hopper which I've used since last April which has started to develop extreme heat on the back end; it almost feels like a shock. It quickly cools down and it vapes effectively, as it always has. I think I've seen other people mention this but in a quick review of previous...

    Yes the silicon mouthpiece is a good purchase and over time they'll get sort of scuzzy-looking so having replacements isn't a bad idea. I usually use glass, either a j-hook or a bong, but when I use it alone I treat it like a one-hitter and let it cool down between tokes. Personally, I prefer...

    Thought I'd mention these "Ranger Bands" I purchased for my Hopper batteries. They're thick, rugged bands and allow me to safely carry a bunch of spare batteries in my pocket. I know there are many alternatives available but these were a step up for me and should last forever. I got them...

    I'd always liked to ladder up the scale, starting at 2 and finishing on 5 but lately I just set it 5 and keep it there. I'm using either a regular glass j-hook or the Lotus VaporScope and the vapor isn't hot at all. With a half dozen batteries in rotation they're all still going strong and I...

    @ Hopper Labs: Were the "Made in China" batteries ever definitively examined, tested, and found to be defective?

    I suspect a battery problem. They can degrade under certain conditions. Do you have any other batteries?

    About to order the io — but I don't know whether to go with SS or TI. My first two hoppers were TI (both working well, thank you) but when I ordered a third I went with SS. And you know what? I found that I liked it a bit more. I liked the additional heft of it and the smoothness of the...

    My first two Hoppers were Ti, one plain and one dark grey. When I purchased my third one I chose SS and right away I regretted not having bought SS all along. I actually like the heaviness and especially the machining — the threads are so smooth; it just feels more substantial. I haven''t...

    Hmm...wonder how the corona virus outbreak in China might affect the battery situation?

    That's why I never understood the belligerent attitude you sometimes see on the reddit Hopper sub. If I were that angry I think I'd wait until I cooled down a bit before posting rather than come across as a juvenile hothead.

    I never thought to measure how much I'm loading into the chamber so I was glad this thread inspired me to do a little research. Grinding with the medium plate on the BC and gently spilling the weed into the chamber using the NewVape Pax scoop I pretty consistently load .13 - .14. Sure, a bit...

    I'm not "defending" anyone; I'm suggesting that you might be able to come up with a solution yourself. See, there's not that much empty real estate lying around unused in a Hopper, so any vapor-cooling add-on is going to be external to the device. Just like the examples I mentioned...

    I really think these sorts of "improvements" are best handled after-market. If people want to set the device on 5 and draw for 15 seconds all that's really needed is a short extension to the vapor path. Silicon tubing, a glass chillum, a hollowed out piece of blackberry cane — there are all...

    Yes, this is my experience as well. I normally use a j-hook at home but when I'm on the move I just adapt my toking style to the situation.

    When I see people reporting that the vapor is too harsh I always wonder why they don't let the unit cool down between draws. It doesn't take long if you roll it between your palms or just close your hand around it. With a PFE I find that a silicone drip tip which extends past the mouthpiece...

    In short, yes. Well, it's Hopper Labs, and there always seem to be issues of one sort or another. Apparently they were close to being caught up on warranty repairs and then the place suffered a fire. So that's put them back a bit and it's also meant that they've had to stop shipping out the...

    I'd really like to see those anecdotal reports substantiated. Most of us have developed a certain amount of bemused skepticism when it comes to HL's product announcements. But skepticism in Hopper Land runs on a two way street and I suspect most of us have also become somewhat skeptical of...

    I just sent HL a small donation as I didn't really need any accessories right now. I missed the Indiegogo campaign so I'm glad to contribute a little now. It's that good of a vape.

    So good to hear from Hopper Labs! Last week I posted a little upbeat note of appreciation because I was so happy to see that the company had turned a corner and there seemed to be such positive vibes around the GrassHopper again. I sort of had some doubts whether to post it or not, afraid I...
